    Running backwards?

    I had a Mog do that to me: I took a steep climb and ran out of power. When the engine stalled I was unable to hold the truck using the brake. It was very confusing to lose control of the truck, have it sliding backwards and hearing the engine running (poorly) and billowing smoke out of the...

    new guy in northern Cuba, I mean south Florida

    Welcome from South West Cuba. My introduction to the 6.2 was when a neighbor showed me his civvy C30 some 15 years ago. He had lowered the compression, fitted a turbo and turned up the fuel. That truck would pull! Prolly not enough to blow air under your kilt, but for an old tired and cheap...

    3 Point Hitch hung on the back of the deuce: any photos or experience?

    I am not having any luck with the search terms "3 point hitch" so I'd thought I'd ask y'all. Has anyone hung a 3 point hitch on the rear of their deuce or do you have photos of the same to share? I realize that front mounted 3 point hitches have been done..... that's not what I'm hoping to...

    IronPlanet.com Selling Military Rolling Stock SOON!

    Interesting theory. And while I am certainly one of those you mention, I have observed that the price of rolling stock has risen up to and over the GL $10,000 limit for using credit cards. So I don't think the IP rules will have much impact. Rick

    calling all engine gurus

    Any way you can peer down into the carburetor while it's running at idle to see if there's fuel pouring out of the main nozzle? There should be nothing coming out the nozzle until you are well off idle. Rick

    Garwood Winch w/o cable Boyce Equipment good deal?

    There's nothing you don't already know about Boyce! I'd surmise they don't want to be bothered sourcing and installing cable! Suggestion: If you are looking for a winch, just take it slow and troll the classified section of this forum from time to time. You will find that what you want will...

    Brake shoe adjustment driving me crazy

    If it's not too late to check, I'd measure the collapsed width of the cylinders. comparing the left to the right. If they are the same I'd inspect the shoes carefully for warped backings, oversized lining or wrong configuration of the shoe frame. You may try swapping the shoes from one side to...

    deuce winch overhaul

    I rebuilt one without pulling the bumper. I disconnected the drive shaft and removed those special, shouldered bolts securing the winch to the brackets and cherry picked it out. Going back, I did have to use a Hi-lift jack to spread the frame a little. The one I was working on had a sheared...

    CCKW 353 Australia

    That's a nice looking truck! A bit rusty for sure but you will probably sort that out as time goes. Did you perform the import of the vehicle or was it already in country? Rick

    M925A2 to M932LA2 Conversion

    I seem to recall a few people parting out tractors, maybe a drop cross member is available from one of them. Is there much use for a rear winch on a tractor? With the truck having hydraulics already, I think that a winch might be useful. Rick

    Got offered a MEP-007A...for free...should I take it ? What are they used for?

    Didn't I see a M1061 trailer behind the truck you just recovered? That would would be a good resource for moving the genset. Rick
